Saint-Omer is a brilliant choice for golfers looking for a short, easy golf break in northern France, with strong courses, historic charm and straightforward access from the UK. Set in the Pas-de-Calais region, it is around 45 km from Calais, making it a practical option for those travelling by LeShuttle or ferry.

The main golfing highlight is Aa Saint-Omer Golf Club, located in the rolling Aa Valley. Its 18-hole Le Val course follows the natural curves of the landscape, offering wide views, elevation changes and a proper technical challenge, while the 9-hole La Haute Drève course gives golfers a shorter, more accessible option. The club also hosts major events including the Open de France Paragolf and an Open Challenge Tour event, giving it a strong tournament pedigree.

Away from the fairways, Saint-Omer has plenty to add to a golf holiday. The Audomarois marsh is a UNESCO-recognised wetland just outside the town, shaped by centuries of market gardening and best explored by boat, bike or on foot. The town itself offers a cathedral, old streets, gardens, restaurants and easy access to the wider Opal Coast.

For UK golfers, Saint-Omer works perfectly as a tailor-made France golf break, either on its own or combined with Hardelot, Le Touquet and other northern France courses. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right hotels, tee times and travel route for a smooth and enjoyable golf escape.
